I’m originally from the UK but I’m now in Canada and I hover around some groups of people from the UK online and in person and I swear the Brits are the most whiny people to ever move anywhere. These people genuinely move to places and expect it to be exactly like the UK and when it’s not they shit on the country. Idk if it’s some leftover colonial mindset or something that hasn’t been removed from their psyche?

I’ve heard people complain that there’s no British cream (like the standard whipping cream which exists but is called something different) in stores, British bread, British seasonings, very specific type of curry called the brimingham balti which I don’t think I’ve seen outside of northern England. Amongst many other things and it’s absolutely mind blowing

Genuinely makes me embarassed to be in anyway related to these people. Anyone else get absolutely sick of your old countries people?

    Mexicans have western, European roots and heritage and tend to have the same religion as the majority of people in the US. This causes less visceral causes for friction beyond the first generation. A Latin person born in the US, speaking English natively without a foreign accent, is much more assimilated than the second or third generations of many migrants to Europe whose traditions conflict more with the dominant culture. Especially, islam as a religion is more conservative than the constitution and cultures of West European democracies, which are also much less religious than North America to begin with.
